  				BILLY THE KID

  						by Chris LeDoux

  

  [Am]In the southern part of Texas, east and [G]west of El Paso

  

  Where the mighty Franklin Mountains guard the [Am]trail to Mexico.

  

  There’s a new made widow cryin’ and a [G]hurse a-rollin’ slow,

  

  And I [Em]guess that Devil’s passed this way a[Am]gain.

  

  

  [Am]There’s a lathered sorrel stallion runnin’ [G]through the Joshua Trees,

  

  A young man in the saddle with his [Am]coat tails in the breeze.

  

  Got a six gun on his right hip and a [G]rifle at his knee,

  

  And he’s [Em]dealin’ in a game that he can’t [Am]win.

  

  

  CHORUS

  

  [Am]Poor Billy Bonney, you’re [G]only twenty-one,

  

  Pat Garrett’s got your name on every [Am]bullet in his gun.

  

  Each notch you carved on your six-gun’s got a [G]bloody tale to tell

  

  Well, you’re a mile ahead of Garrett and a [Em]step outside of [Am]hell.

  

  

  [Am]Them fancy clothes you’re wearin’ and the [G]women in your bed,

  

  Can’t take away the faces of the [Am]men that you left dead.

  

  As you ride across the badlands with a [G]price upon your head,

  

  [Em]Now that wheel or fortune starts to [Am]turn.

  

  

  [Am]Your reputation’s grown till it’s the [G]biggest in the land,

  

  And there ain’t a lot of people left who [Am]wanna call your hand.

  

  And I guess you’ll go down shootin’ just [G]like all brand of men,

  

  And when you [Em]shake hands with the Devil you get [Am]burned.

  

  CHORUS x 2
